The aim of the exhibit is to convey the "mesmerizing spirit" of animals through photographic images of mammals and birds and indigenous people, according to a library press release.

Bolle lives in Norwalk and is a two-time winner of the Norwalk Camera Club's Photographer of the Year Award, the gallery said. She visited multiple wildlife reserves in Africa, capturing images of birds and animals.

Harris also lives in Norwalk and also is a recipient of the camera club's Photographer of the Year Award. She has photographed animals in Africa, the Florida Everglades, New England and elsewhere, the gallery said.

Paul has lived in Westport and is a member of several arts organizations in the region. Her photographs of indigenous people in remote regions of Asia and Africa have been exhibited widely in Connecticut and New York, the gallery said.
